Here by Mistake: The Secret of the Niche

Brandon, Sarah, and Stephen have just begun their summer. Wondering how to pass the time, Brandon suggests they explore the treasures in the basement of his Aunt Faye's mansion. The dark basement holds a trove of gold coins, a knight's armor, a grizzly bear on a pedestal, and an elaborately decorated niche. This unusual furnishing draws the kids' attention, and before they realize what has happened, they've transported through the niche to New Orleans, 1965. Learning about the past has always fascinated this trio, but to actually live in 1965 and in a strange town? They need to find the niche to return home!

Between episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies, the kids plan their return-both to their hometown and to their millennium. Aware not to change anything that might affect the future, they pursue the niche while trying to avoid notice. Will they succeed? What if they see an opportunity to change the future for the better? Peril and promise await them on the path toward home.
